President Akufo-Addo was spotted enjoying a traditional Ga dish, Kenkey during the Jamestown Fishing Harbour commissioning ceremony.
Seated beside his wife, First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, who is of Ga descent, the President savoured the popular staple food, surrounded by his bodyguards and enthusiastic onlookers.
As he ate, the First Lady couldn’t help but smile, clearly delighted to see her husband embracing her heritage.
The Ga Mantse, traditional leaders of the Ga people, looked on with pride as the President participated in their cultural display.
This is not the first time President Akufo-Addo has shown his love for local cuisine.
During his presidential campaign tour, he made it a point to dine with the people he visited, sharing meals with them in their homes.
This approachable and down-to-earth attitude has endeared him to many Ghanaians.
The commissioning of the Jamestown Fishing Harbour is a significant milestone in the President’s efforts to revitalize the country’s fishing industry.
